Well I haven't played aroudn with it much for a few years but from what
I remember it had all of Perl's problems with writing large scale apps
(like no typing at the API level) plus you couldn't have more than 1
level of inheritence and the OO-iness of PHP just sucked in general.
This may have changed since Version 3.
It was difficult to abstract content from logic (although it's kind of a
templating system in its own right), the library system isn't nearly as
good either as a way to load libraries in or as a repository (but then
what programming language does have an equivalent to CPAN) and the DBI
abstraction was, well, nonexistent.
And it wasn't nearly as powerful as Perl.
Twas nearly two years ago though.
Still quite like it for quick stuff though.
